Fellow Reef Aquarists-
The moment we’ve all been waiting patiently for is finally approaching. The Wireless Wave Driver is available for pre-purchase now only through Aquarium Specialty (VorTech Wireless Wave Driver Promotion). Scott has been kind enough to help EcoTech with the logistics involved in sending out the new Wireless Wave Drivers and processing the returned MP40 model drivers.
Here’s what you’re in for:
Some might say we’re behind schedule however we believe that what we are presenting now will convince most that sometimes you get more than what you’ve bargained for. For $100 you will purchase our Wireless Wave Driver. Following the receipt of your new driver, simply swap it out with your old driver and return the old driver to Aquarium Specialty for a $50 rebate. Wireless Wave Drivers are expected to begin shipping on September 1st in limited numbers.
This offer will be valid while supplies last. Once we’ve caught up with our customers, the Wireless Wave Driver will eventually be available as a standalone product for ~$100 without any exchange.
What does the Wireless Wave Driver do?
Well, in short it is a multicontroller. That’s right, the driver that you thought you required in order to use our future multicontroller actually IS our multicontroller, but it’s also our single controller. How’s that you ask? Well, using our new Triton Protocol for wireless communication your Wireless Wave Drivers will communicate with one another to coordinate wave movements throughout your tank. For example, if you own four pumps you will purchase four Wireless Wave Drivers and your pumps will then be capable of multiple different wireless wave control algorithms and infinite flow possibilities. Alternatively, if you just have one pump then you can purchase only one Wireless Wave Driver and still get all of the flow control options, just minus the added benefit of having other pumps. What’s even better is that there is effectively no limit to the number of different wireless pumps that you can incorporate onto any one aquarium, or even multiple aquariums.
Here’s how we do it:
When you turn your first Wireless Wave Driver on, you have the option to set this pump as a “master pump.†Once it’s set as master, any other pumps that you turn on will automatically become slaves to that master pump. A master pump can broadcast a wireless signal telling slave pumps to coordinate their flow with the master. A master can control other pumps in the following modes:
• Single Speed Mode
• Random Mode 1: Lagoon Mode
• Random Mode 2: Reef-Crest Mode
• Pulse Mode- for wave creation
Here’s where it gets even better:
The slave pumps can be set to either “Sync†with the master pump or “Anti-Sync†with the master pump. In sync mode the slave will do exactly as the master; in anti-sync mode they’ll do the inverse! Meaning when the master pump is at its maximum speed, the slave will be at its minimum, etc. Multiple master pumps can be set up on different wireless frequencies for infinite wave control possibilities.
To enter feed mode, press the button on any one of your Wireless Wave Drivers and all of your pumps will slow down to just a few revolutions for 10 minutes.
Each Wireless Wave Driver comes with its own 1-year warranty from the time of installation.
I hope everyone appreciates what we have in store for the future. While I know that this post is undoubtedly going to result in a very long thread with numerous questions, I ask that everyone be patient. We will answer the most pertinent questions involving the upgrade process itself as quickly as possible however we will not be able to answer as effectively specific details about the functionality of the driver. The reason is we are busy with this project, other projects, and of course MACNA. I ask that everyone be considerate of this when asking questions.
We will have pictures of the driver to follow. In the mean time, let the discussion begin!
